What I just encountered [View all]

[Rider3]

It's a really rainy, raw, windy day in Boston. I'm walking up into Downtown Crossing to have lunch. There, I see a table with an "Impeach Obama" sign on it. Keeping the table were 5 young men. Not that it mattered, but two were Caucasian, the other three were African Americans. It really pissed me off to see this table, but I continued onto lunch. While having lunch, I thought, "Don't be so judgmental. At least stop and hear their argument." So, I finished eating and walked directly to their table. I first see a sign that says something about "Benghazi Gate." I think, OK, well what about the thousands of others killed by Bush's illegal wars. But, then, that's beside the point. I wanted to know what these young men had to say to back up their want of impeachment. So, I asked. I was directed to a big sign under the umbrella with about 9 different statements. The first statement was that Obama supports and defends Al Qaeda. I stopped right there and asked how/where did they find this "fact" and in what way(s) does the president support Al Qaeda. One of the young men asked me, "You don't know?" I said, "No! Please tell me. How is he supporting Al Queda?" None of them could answer my question. They kept throwing the "you don't know?" back at me. Then, one of them came up to me kind of laughing and said, "We don't have to talk about this to you." Nice, huh? So, I told them that they needed to do some research (and research is NOT opinion pieces in the news) and that they were idiots if they couldn't back up what they're asking people to support.

The stupidity of the whole thing just floored me. My blood pressure is too high at the moment. Need to work on that....

Thanks for letting me vent.
